Plenty of people on here suggested signing them from QPR and Reading before Palace did. Could've got the pair for about £25m. Both released by the filth as kids, too. Millwall let Eze go when he was 17 and Chris Ramsey signed him. What a **** up.
Eze was an utter cockup by the ubermensch, as he seemed ideal given we were obviously due to start a rebuild and he'd have been a useful piece, but nope Olise on the other hand is a tad more complex, as according to Dan KP at the time we refused to sign him as he wasn't vaccinated
Ligue 1 is changing its sponsor to McDonalds. Watch Ndombele go back to France next season and become prime Iniesta now.
The last time the French saw something that bloated fly over from England, it had R101 written on the side of it
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's agent has given Napoli both barrels , not least because when they approached De Laurentis for a new contract last summer they were told to sod off - even though Khvicha is in roughly £25k a week Would've been nice if Conte had both arms twisted eighteen months ago, eh?
CB Watch Sacha Tavoieri claims we're looking at Eintracht Frankfurt CB Willian Pacho, or to be more specific LCB ...problem is he signed a five year contract when joining Eintracht from Royal Antwerp last summer, so instead of costing us the £7.6m instead we have Eintracht setting the price at a reported £51m with Liverpool and the Bottlers also linked - though a few months ago Bilge claim Eintracht were expecting at least €40m when they sell him, so let's split the difference and call it €51m eh...?
Mike McGrath saying the Saudis will again try for Richarlison in the summer. Surely we’ll cash in? Be silly not to. Can add in a 2 for 1 with Emerson as well while they’re at it.
A shame too, excellent player and one of the best outside the top six but you couldn’t warrant paying £60m+ for a guy that only plays about 50% of the season.
RB Watch Crap source, but CaughtOffside claim we're looking to sign Ben Johnson from West Scam on a free this summer on Ledders' recommendation - and David Sullivan seems resigned to him leaving, as he's accusing him of being greedy already One thing to note: he's also Ledders' second cousin, so technically counts as Spurs DNA Championship Rando Watch Chronicle Live claim we're looking at Sunderland's 16 year old midfielder Chris Rigg...as are approximately 75% of PL clubs who aren't as transfer window away from FFP armageddon (also Chelsea and The Saudis, who are)
FFP Raid Watch Football BSider claim we're looking to help Nottingham Forest's present issues by relieving them of Morgan Gibbs-White CF Watch Alasdair Gold claim's we're looking at Genoa's Albert Gudmundsson, which is a definite upgrade on CalcioMercato claiming we were looking at him a month or so ago, so it's probably time to mentally put a pin in this one Interestingly, that's two players with set piece ability who are also good crossers
Alasdair Gold Roundup A quick summary of his latest piece - One of Alfie Whiteman or Brandon Austin is likely off in the summer, but only one due to needing the CG numbers - Mention of "a decision to make" regarding Ryan Sessegnon - as in, if we don't take up the option on his contract, he could potentially leave on a free this summer - Interest in Udinese's Festy Ebosele is mentioned (who counts as HG as he spent several years in Derby's academy before heading to Italy) - Straight up says Joe Rodon will be leaving this summer - Mentions interest in the usual suspects (Adarabioyo, Kelly, Guehi) plus Ilya Zabarnyi - Albert Gudmundsson and Morgan Gibbs-White namechecked, as was Samuel Iling-Junior - Stresses that Turkish sources are talking up interest in Sebastian Szymanski Gudmundsson Watch The Gazetto dello Sport claim that Inter are the frontrunners as he wishes to stay in Italy, with Inter and Juve leading the charge - though Inter are only offering a loan with an obligation, while Genoa want €30m upfront, so this one might run for a little longer
Slightly odd one, but I'm guessing they're going for a right-sided Udogie here. He's quick and good on the ball, but he plays wide whenever I've seen him. He's from Wexford and plays for the Republic.
